Exclamation I Got to Close

To the Shark Tank and got bit. I picked this 08 up Sunday in Houston and rode it 350 miles home. I know now why the guys that have them love them so much. It has 103 kit, 211 cams, polished ported heads, D&D Fatcat 2-1 with ghostpipe.

Congratulations on the new bike, once you've been bit by a shark, the effects usually last for awhile and as with all HD's it can cost $$$....
